Why not build the stadium over near Audi Field?

yea

I was involved in the DC United/Poplar Point plan. There were so many issues - the arsenic throughout the site from the greenhouses (estimated at $50 million to clean up in 2006). The main sewage pipe to Blue Plains that would have to be relocated ($100 million in 2006, although this work will need to be done sometime anyway). The highway ramp and access needed...there are a bunch of reasons including community sentiment that moved us away from this as a viable location for a 20,000 seat soccer stadium, much less a 60,000 seat football stadium.

RFK was and remains the better site. Congress needs to sign off and would never do it for soccer but for red meat football there are always the votes, especially if they get their House and Senate boxes. And the right people get the pork in their districts. Everyone knows who needs to get paid, and now with Harris taking over they will get their $$ and the RFK plan will move forward.

Not after all the work that has been done to clean up the Anacostia. The last thing that poor river needs is acres of parking lots against it. The fields at RFK are used constantly by all ages. All year round, not just 8 weekends a year.

This. RFK has parks and fields now and a lot less traffic. The problem with a new stadium is that no neighborhood wants it

Are there metro accessible spots in Arlington or Alexandria that would even be options?

The original metro plans had a stop at Oklahoma Ave. Adding that stop back in would give two stations to the stadium complex.

Seattle has benefited from their stadium downtown, Baltimore’s stadiums are downtown, Vegas, etc.

Shiny new things attract developers. New development brings in $. Look at how transformed SE waterfront has been and the wharf area.

$ solves many of the problems in DC.

If you want DC to go back to the 80s, so be it. Ain’t happening

Back to the 80s, when there was an NFL team with a stadium in the District? Troll better, out-of-towner.

Seriously. Does PP not realize the Redskins DID play in DC?? For 35 years???

Neither does Virginia.

While I personally don't want a stadium in Virginia, I think Youngkin and the General Assembly are open to a stadium for a team not owned by Dan Snyder.

Every proposal gave local government the right to decline. If VA gets it, Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax will all pass. It will probably end up in PWC and make 95 even more of a nightmare

They should just rebuild RFK.
